Gilliam Family
The Gilliam family of Franklin County North Carolina are important in the research of the Leonard Family. They married Leonards and Guptons and others.
While I was researching them I discovered that one piece of information that had me doing the "Happy Dance". I found Scotia's last name!! Scotia was a Gilliam and she married John Leonard.
When William Gilliam died, his settlement records of 1827 in Franklin County gave the names of siblings. William's father was Marcus.
Marcus Gilliam
was born about 1745 in Sussex VA. He married Fanny Stewart/Stuart.
On 13 Jul 1778 in Bute County, NC a warrant was issued to
Marcus Gilliam by improvements 640 acres on the waters of Red Bud.
On 25 Nov 1778 in Franklin County, NC 100 acres on the
waters of Red Bud.
On 7 Jun 1780 in Franklin County, NC a Deed from Robert Carr and wife Mary, to
Marquis Gilliam 300 acres adj to Vinson and Witnesses Wm Stuart and James Carr.
On 23 Apr 1794 a deed of gift from Sarah Gilliam (mother) of
Southampton VA a negro girl Violet a gift of her deceased husband Walter.
Witness Wm Stuart
December of 1800 a Deed from Marcus Gilliam to Frederick
Leonard was acknowledged in open court.
Marcus died instate about Sep 1817 in Franklin County. His son Drury was granted administrator of
the estate.
When William, the son of Marcus, died in 1827 the records give
us the names of Marcus’ children.
